instrument that makes it possible for the reader to discern what, without
this book, he would perhaps never have seen in himself. -Marcel Proust, (1871-1922)Tamihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08469986604650912397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5084039.post-917661032003-04-01T02:53:00.000-08:002003-04-01T02:53:02.030-08:00You think your pains and heartbreaks are unprecedented in the history of
the world, but then you read. It was books that taught me that the things
that tormented me were the very things that connected me with all the
people who were alive, or who have ever been alive. -James Baldwin, writer

Michael the hero is dying in Africa
Hugo the spy is measuring the hill
And the madman Smith is watching the clubhouse,
Looking for someone to kill
The birds of disorder are crossing the continent
No one knows whither and no one knows why
And softly, softly, the ones I love
Are getting ready to dieTamihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08469986604650912397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5084039.post-902335762003-03-06T04:12:00.000-08:002003-03-06T04:12:43.670-08:00Laughter is inner jogging. -Norman Cousins (1915-1990)Tamihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08469986604650912397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5084039.post-900461032003-03-03T04:27:00.000-08:002003-03-03T04:27:16.810-08:00 Midway in the journey of our life/ I came to myself in a dark wood,/ for the straight way was lost - Dante Alighieri (1265–1321)Tamihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08469986604650912397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5084039.post-900458432003-03-03T04:18:00.000-08:002003-03-03T04:18:13.610-08:00Sometimes even to live is an act of courage. -Lucius Annaeus Seneca, (BCE 3-65 CE)Tamihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08469986604650912397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5084039.post-898965922003-02-28T04:04:00.000-08:002003-02-28T04:04:14.170-08:00Success usually comes to those who are too busy to be looking for it.
